#密码资产动态追踪 Bitcoin's "Stalemate" and Breakthrough Tug of War
The market is like being trapped in an elevator—lacking upward momentum, not fully falling, yet always hoping for a skyrocket someday.
Recently, Bitcoin's movement is a perfect reflection of reality: the ups and downs are entirely controlled by macro factors. The price repeatedly fluctuates around $92,000, with bulls and bears engaged in a tug-of-war that has no clear winner—the rope moves, but no one truly gains the upper hand.
On-chain data reveals some interesting information. Over $100 million in long positions were liquidated in the middle of the night, while large institutions quietly transferred assets to exchanges—this back-and-forth scenario vividly depicts the inner struggles of market participants.
The Psychosis of Investors
When the price hit $95,000, the community was excited: "This time, it's really going to break through!" But what happened? Not long after, it turned downward. When it returned near $92,000, some cheered: "I knew it would be like this!" This daily psychological game causes traders' emotions to fluctuate more violently than the candlestick charts.
The phenomenon of continuous ETF fund outflows is especially ironic—investors shout "long-term optimism" while quietly reducing their holdings. This is akin to vowing to get fit but still choosing to lie on the sofa.
The "Life and Death Moment" for Leveraged Traders
Long traders using 50x or even 100x leverage are currently sitting on the "cliff" between $89,000 and $90,500, with every price fluctuation making their hearts race. Slight dips in price bring liquidation risks dangerously close. They are eating instant noodles but can't taste anything.
The options market situation is even more complex. A large number of short positions are defending above $95,000, with market makers filling this price range with signals of "danger." If the price breaks through this critical level, it may trigger short covering, leading to a rapid rally. But all of this depends on—whether it can truly break through.
The current issue is no longer whether Bitcoin can rise, but whether market participants can reach a consensus. The game between retail investors and institutions continues, with signals from technicals, fundamentals, and capital flows all mixed together, making it difficult to make clear judgments. To buy or to sell, perhaps the only option is to listen to your inner voice—and then do the opposite.
